ATexasSnake:

I have a Corvette. It has a chevy engine.

I do not have a Cobra and neither do you. We both have kit cars designed to look like a Cobra. My Kit car has a Chevy motor. Your kit car has a Ford motor. If I had Cobra, it would have a Ford engine. But that'll never happen. I've heard this BS before many times about "well, if you had a Corvette, you wouldn't put a Ford engine in it, so why put a Chevy in a Cobra" and it doesn't hold any water at all!!! I have not heard of anyone ever putting a Chevy motor in a Cobra. I have put a Chevy in a kit car, which has only one Ford part in the entire car (turn signal switch) to my knowledge. I guess if someone wanted to build kit cars of the Corvette, I could care less what they would be powered by.

Again, do not forget we are talking about kit cars, not Cobras.


Jim Barnett: I understand the money/value thing and agree a Ford motor to most will hold more value... fine, but saying a kit car which has no affiliation with Ford Motor Company (even yours is an LA Exotics - I do not recall when they were acquired by Ford?) is BASTARDIZED if you do not use a Ford motor is ludicrous (but not uncommon on this site). What bastardization is taking place if the car is not made/sold by Ford? The whole car is not true to the originals, so why does the motor have to be. By your logic, your fiberglass body is a bastardization, since Ford (or AC) did not make it.


Think about it folks and don't get so full of yourself...
